Volkswagen EuroVan Replacement Timing Belt Tensioner Information

The rhythm of your Volkswagon Eurovan's engine is controlled by the timing belt. As it revolves it aligns the engine operation with the valve firing pattern and everything runs smoothly. If the timing is off the Eurovan engine will stall, backfire or run poorly. Belt tension is extremely important: loosey-goosey, it can lose contact with the drive path but too much tension will cause it to break. Since incorrect belt tension shortens the life of the belt, it is important that the Eurovan Timing Belt Tensioner be in good condition. When the Timing Belt Tensioner fails, the belt can derail. At the least it subjects the gear and idler bearings in its running path to excessive wear. To avoid these problems (and a higher repair bill) replace the tensioner when you replace the belt.
